Not Only Are The Problems And Difficulties Explained Fully But The Remedy And Solution Provided

Many people have no idea that Almighty God curses as well as blesses. If not, then the Bible is most misleading, and over these past forty years, I have not found it to be misleading in way whatsoever.
If a lot of bad things are happening to you have a look at Deuteronomy Chapter 28 and you may discover why life is treating you the way it is.
But, in these articles, I have been writing about what went so terribly wrong when Almighty God created this world. It was once in perfect condition, and man was placed in a delightful park.
When Genesis Chapter 3 is read and studied, we read of how Creation fell and how everything was marred and ruined, and in verse 14, we read of a curse upon you, the enemy of God - but one day one of her descendants will crush your skull.
There is the virgin conception right at the very heart of verse 15. See that clearly, and let it inspire you and give you hope and reassurance.
God goes on to speak to the woman, and it is specific and detailed. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you, and from that union there will be the great pain as you bring a child into the world.
Then, Almighty God speaks to Adam. Because you listened and ate and disobeyed, cursed in the ground. There is a change in the whole Creation.
What we have today is not what God created. The ground is cursed. Sin has ruined what God created, and pain has entered as a direct consequence of sin accompanied by thorns and thistles and sweat.
God then announces something further - death. Death is an intruder. - It is the last enemy – that is developed and explained in the New Testament in I Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 26.
Suffering and pain and struggle and death is the result of SIN! This answers questions which the theories of evolution do not attempt to answer.
Do you see the language of sin - hiding - running away - pain - sorrow - suffering - sweat - fear – death?
Adam names his wife Eve. He knows she is going to bring forth children into the world, and note he names her. The head names the woman. That is why woman is known as Miss or Mrs - she takes on the name of her head. This, of course, is anathema to many today. We have this rebellious Ms. - signifying that certain rebels don’t want to acknowledge their need for a head. They say “I am not submitting to that!”
In the New Testament, we have this tremendous compassion and concern which the Church has to show to single women and to widows - to cover them and protect them from the wolves that roam around seeking whom they can devour. Each of us in the body of Christ must ensure that we have a covering. It is for our own good and welfare and safety and security and protection and preservation.
In Genesis 3 verse 21, we read of the shedding of blood, so that man can be properly clothed and covered. Modern man is rebelling against this too - and paying a massive price!
Nudity is seeking to return to Paradise, by bypassing the Cross.
This Chapter tells of man’s fall. Man likes to think that he is improving. The Word of God teaches us something very different. Blood has to be shed to cover up SIN.
God covered man and clothed him, but also decided, “I cannot let you remain around for ever.” Decay and disintegration and death entered this world of ours. Man is banished from his perfect environment and there is no way back.
But – But – the ‘buts’ in the Bible are vitally important. A second Adam was promised. A second Adam was needed. Jesus Christ faced the devil in the wilderness and won, and on the Cross and defeated Him, and offers us today participation in His Victory.
There are so many answers provided and supplied here, and also the solution, the solution, to the massive problems facing mankind.
